No. Not really. The new GTO uses a 120mm bolt pattern, as opposed to our 4.75" or 120.65" bolt pattern. And yeah - the .65 is enough to worry about.
The offset would probably not get you too far since they are offset by 38mm. Visualize a stock 14x6 wheel on your car and that's pretty much what they would look like.

If you can find a company that makes wheel adaptors to make a custom set to correct the off set and bolt pattern difference, then it will work easily. I would just wonder about the cost.

FWIW I run adaptors on my car and have for about 10 years now with no problems.
